• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Motion, and commend my very able Chairman, our Deputy Part Leader of ODM, for the good work that he has been doing so far. I just wanted to note for very few minutes the cross-cutting points. I was looking at the audit report which was considered by the team, and some of the water companies have taken loans due to developing infrastructure for big dams, but they end up not being able to do it. They might have gotten the funds for the big dams, but then they did not consult ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: The other challenge is that counties do not have the co-ownership arrangements between the water companies at the national level and those at the county level. That one is also an issue. The challenge of non-revenue water has also been mentioned. It is a thorn in the flesh. They blame the old piping system, breakages, illegal connections and many other issues, but water companies need to invest on this. They need to invest in new technologies like upgrading the pipes and using smart metres to detect leakages. We need to embrace the smart metres to tackle the commercial losses done ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sorry, my question was for Dr. Mulwa. view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I raised this statement on the mosquito nets for investigation. I am aware of this investigation. Dr. Mulwa, apart from the loss that KEMSA incurred, did the alleged interference affect the relationship between the Global Fund and KEMSA? I remember, of course, the tender, which was about Kshs3.7 billion was terminated by Global Fund. So was there any relationship lost between the two? Secondly, did the Principal Secretary (PS), Josephine Mburu and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Terry Ramadhan, lose their jobs due to this tendering process of the mosquito net tender? Thirdly, did you feel ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mr. Abdi, when EACC conducts investigation, are they guided by other investigations? Through the cross-examination, I think it was vis-a-vis the Parliament investigation. I think these are two different investigations. I just want clarification on whether you are guided by Parliament because the parliamentarians are not experts. That is why we always bring or loop in EACC to assist us with the investigation. Secondly, would you call it a bribe if a gift is not declared? I mean, would you call a gift or gifts in a public office a bribe? Just one last one ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: . Welcome to Kenya. Kenya is your country and we all enjoy the border. Everything that is in Uganda is in Kenya, except the matoke. view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Yes, we have matoke, but you cannot compare with the one in Uganda. We welcome you to Parliament. The Senate is a House of peace and they always call us the ‘Upper House’. We enjoy the tranquillity. I hope you will enjoy our Session here. We wish you all the best. Kindly send our regards to our colleagues on the other side. Thank you and welcome, once more. view
